Do you need a time machine to beat these 5 or can you do it without one.

Over the years there has been a number of dominant fighters inside and out of the major fight organizations. The current names that are dominating the UFC , the prevalent major fight organization ,are ,in no particular order, Jose Aldo, Anderson Silva, Jon Jones,and GSP. These 4 champions each represent a different seemingly unsolveable puzzle for the average challenger. I want to include Dominic Cruz in this even though he is out right now he is also a champ who no fighter has solved in years. Better believe against any one of those 5 the cards will be stacked against you greatly .So dominant these fighters have been that the question becomes " who could challenge them ever? Who would deal with Aldo's kicks and knees? Then put him on his but and keep him there. Who KO's Jon Jones ? Is he plucked from recent history or is the guy who out wrestles GSP been retired for years? Question, Who would you take in a bet everytime over these 5 current greats?

These champs are extremely well rounded and the average dude in their weight class is just too far behind to really challenge on a consistent basis. Some fighters are better at certain aspects of MMA but aren't good enough to stop the other skills. IMO the only thing that will beat one of these champs is a hay-maker punch.

A prime Chuck might've given Bones problems. This was before the lifestyle(let's say) caught up with his chin, but his tdd was top notch,still probably the best ever(fuking up Jons wrestling), also his heavy hands might've been able to trouble him.

I think a prime BJ Penn was still lazy and relied too much on natural ability. He was just so far ahead of the fighters in his class that he could get away with minimum effort. In my opinion, Aldo ruins a prime Penn.

I think the same of Fedor. He was the first really WELL ROUNDED fighter that could exploit the one dimensional fighters in Pride. But i agree, Aldo is just to quick for a prime Penn. I love me some BJ Penn, but his legs get chopped out too.

Chuck Norris breaks Aldo's leg in the opening minute by kicking his shin as Aldo goes for a leg kick. Follows up with a nasty hook for a KO.
Chuck Norris allows himself to be taken down by GSP deep into round 4 only to lure him into a vicious guillotine choke that gives GSP neck problems for life.
Silva tries a front kick after rocking Norris with a straight but Norrris runs up his leg and lands a solid knee that knocks Silva out cold. Rogan goes crazy.
Jones catches Norris' kick and throws a spinning back elbow. It connects cleanly but it breaks his elbow when contact is made with Norris' chin. Norris unloads on the wounded Jones finishing by TKO late in the 1st.
Norris suplexes Velasquez and lands in side control. Cain taps out via Beard choke.

A juiced up Mark Kerr in his prime was nothing but wrestling with absolutely NO striking. Igor pounded him like a punching bag. I think we've seen that show before. Except playing the role of Kerr was Brock Lesnar. I think it ends similarly.

This is a more 'style makes fights' scenario. Cain ain't no Igor when it comes to striking. His greatest asset is his wrestling, which I think Kerr could near match. We've yet to really see Cain on his back, if Kerr got him there I think it could be interesting.

Thus the scenario I gave. Keer was not more accomplished than Lesnar, and we saw the trouble Lesnar had grappling with Cain. Not to mention the conditioning advantage Cain has over ANY heavyweight of ANY generation.

But I'll play along. Let's say Kerr takes him down, then what? Cain has better bjj than Kerr. He's active enough that Kerr blows his wad trying to hold him there. Let's even pretend Kerr makes it thru the 1st round. The 2nd begins, and ends like the Big Foot vs AO fight.

Mark Kerr, Coleman and Randleman were so one dimensional and predictable that nearly any HW of this current generation would give them nightmares. Kerr was fun to watch, but "The Smashing Machine" becomes an ironic prophetic ending.
